The Handle of the Office Chair is Broken

If the handle of the office chair is broken, you can choose to repair or replace the parts based on the breakage situation and material. In most cases, replacing the parts is more cost-effective and thorough.

Repair Solutions

• Broken solid wood armrests: If the breakage is not severe, you can use strong adhesives such as 502 or 101 for bonding. Professional handling can make the breakage almost invisible upon close inspection. The specific operation steps are as follows: Fill the gap with adhesive, drill holes with a screwdriver for fixation, use 502 adhesive to bond the small hole, then apply wood dust, sand, polish, and paint the entire surface, and finally use a pencil for aging treatment.
• Broken or welded-open iron or plastic armrests: Use epoxy resin AB adhesive, such as Kafuter strong AB adhesive. When using it, mix Agent A and Agent B in proportion, apply evenly on the broken surface, align and join the parts, and fix them until fully cured.

Replacement Solutions

• Purchasing parts: Online e-commerce platforms (such as Taobao and 1688) are the main purchasing channels. When selecting, carefully confirm the type of armrest, such as ordinary plastic armrests, aluminum alloy die-cast armrests, and adjustable armrests. Also, ensure that the shape of the bracket matches the chair model. Prices range from a few yuan to several dozen yuan.
• Installation: Prepare appropriate tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches. First, remove the fixing screws of the damaged armrest and take off the old part. Then, align the connecting part of the new armrest with the mounting holes on the chair, place it in, and tighten all the screws to ensure that each screw is firmly in place.

Precautions

When conducting self-repair, safety and stability are the top priorities. Before operation, ensure that the chair is placed steadily. If the chair has electric functions, such as gaming chairs, disconnect the power supply to prevent electric shock. Before purchasing a new armrest, carefully check whether the screw holes, bracket shape, and adjustable function (if any) match to avoid installation problems.
